He follows the story of one particular case of 'sour gas' injuring workers as well as the larger story of the media narrative (or lack there of) that we hear about in the newspaper and on TV.

Our guest this week is Britt Wray, author of 'Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics, and Risks of the De-Extinction'. Britt helps Saryn understand the technology involved in such a feat requires, the surprising array of companies already working on this technology (and how far they've already come) as well as the moral and logistical issues associated with implementing such a high-tech revitalization of the natural order. This topic is sure to evoke strong opinions on both sides, but like it or not these technologies are coming and the time to talk about them is now. The most important distinction to make here is that the purpose is NOT a 'Jurassic Park' style entertainment basis for such work, but rather the revitalization of devastation wrought by human actions over the last several hundred or thousands of years. Relax, dinosaurs are not coming back any time soon.

Lot's of news this week including breaking news about an entire lake disappearing due to climate change in Bolivia, a rush of lobbying by mining companies on the Canadian Gov, and an expose on how to evade lobbying laws in Canada. Insects are dying, and yes that's bad... but at least we got a divestment win!

Between Trump, Bernie Sanders, the brexit vote, the various "springs" around the world etc etc etc. One thing is certain, people are pissed and are lashing out whether or not this is a disaster, or the flames before a great rebirth we will simply have to wait and see but it is undeniable the entire world is going through some giant lurching changes right now. The team discusses the political and environmental implications of this vote and the possible repercussions all over the world.

The question is, was this a lone wolf? A bad actor? Or the norm.
In the middle of the program we take a bit of a break from the heavy news to chat with Toronto's music station voice from CHUM FM for the last 40 years Ingrid Schumacher. Ingrid talks about her thoughts on how Toronto has grown up in the last 40 years, animal cruelty and her ability to use her giant microphone to talk about important issues of the day as a music programmer.
Finally Stefan and Daryn can't NOT mention the horrific shooting over the weekend, Stefan was already writing a piece about activism in the age of global terror, and so we preview that with some comments about recent events at the end of the program.

01:16:45Green Majority MedianoThe old saying goes that capitalism is the worst system out there... except for all others. Daryn this week makes a similar argument about Democracy itself, that while it aims for the best possible system to serve all citizens it has some really critical problems that lead to some of the systemic issues it attempts to solve. This is not to say that we should have something other than democracy... no-one on this show promote communism or tyranny. However the time has come to realize that our current model of democracy is designed to create it's own tyranny. The first part of a three part series, the limits of democracy episode takes a cold look at what are the limits of this system we've created, so that we can improve it in the future. Systemic problems require systemic change... all else is foolishness.

01:12:56Green Majority MedianoThe Panama Papers scandal is all over the news, but what are the implications for the environment, and possibly more importantly why does no one seem surprised and what does that say about our society?
We also discuss the first CEO jailed for actions taken as a CEO in the USA, Donald Blankenship former head of Massey Energy and the recent third-term election for Brad Wall's government in Saskatchewan.
In the final section, we talk about renewable energy opportunities in Canada compared to the supposedly irresistable opportunities of continuing to invest in oil. Supposedly some pipeline might bring 130 or so jobs! Guess what... there's 70,000 potential jobs in Alberta for solar jobs alone in the next 25 years.
The bonus show, hosted by Sabina Hyseni and Brenna Owen discuss Trudeau's comments about how supposedly oil and climate change don't conflict, and Catherine McKenna's comments about how NOT investing in oil threatens national unity. We call bullshit, you should listen to why.

The main focus of the show is to talk about the intersection of veganism and climate activism. Over the last couple years, there has been a surge in folks calling themselves 'climate vegans', which should be a great thing (and can be) but unfortunately has led to almost as much 'bad blood' between the vegans and climate activists as it has created cooperation and positive change. In the last few shows, Stefan and Daryn made a few throw-away comments about this issue that were understandably misunderstood because we didn't explain why we felt that way, and what our position on veganism and the intersection with climate issues actually is.

01:28:11Green Majority MedianoWe discuss some Canadian news items with some direct correlation to the 2016 Federal Budget including more amazing work by Mike De Souza and the National Observer looking into the dysfunction of the National Energy Board with regards to energy projects in Canada.
In the second section, the long lost and sorely missed Kevin Farmer jumps in to the mix, and Stefan Hostetter both take Emmay Mah's lead discussing the just announced 2016 Federal Canadian Budget.
In the final live section, Kevin Farmer (one of the original co-hosts, since retired for new listeners) takes control and gives one of his trademark, funny, poignant and razor sharp rants... mostly poking holes in Justin Trudeau's new oil filled climate policy.
In the bonus show, Sabina is off this week so Stefan steps in to host. We decided at the last min that we'd said more or less everything we wanted to say (that was important) about the other news and the budget, so we take a slight pause in our regular programming to discuss some of the other very topical non-environment news this week that is top-of-mind for many Canadian's right now. Due to tackling 3 big news stories, we run super over time close to 25 min so I hope you can power through because along with everyone else, Stefan really makes some great points at the end of the show. The topics are: the Brussels attack, #BlackLivesMatter protests in Toronto, and the Jian Ghomeshi trial.

In the final section of the live show, new volunteer and correspondent Clark Barr talks to us about his mission to live a year without plastic. What does that mean, how hard it really is, and if plastics so bad what are we supposed to do about it?
For the Bonus Show, hosted by Sabina Hyseni we talk about the increased economic opportunities and consequent rush to commercialize the Arctic as vast areas of usually in-traversable ice melts back due to climate change.

David Grey-Donald brings us a report he's compiled (soon to be released) about the line 9 pipeline.

01:08:40Green Majority MedianoRich Penney, a volunteer with Zeitgeist Toronto joins us this week to talk about some of the most dangerous implications of runaway climate change. We felt it was important to circle back to this somewhat basic climate science because the face of denial has gone from Harper style 'it's not real/lets act like it's not' to Trudeau's 'it's real and we should do something, just not nearly as much as the science requires'. Just because someone says they accept climate change, doesn't mean that actually understand it nor does it mean they have any intention of actually doing what's required to stop it.
In the second section, Stefan and Daryn move the conversation south to the US primaries, the Supreme Court challenge to Obama's Climate Plan and then days later the death of notoriously conservative Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia... with less than a year to a presidential race and the implications for not just the USA but potentially a zero-sum win/loss scenario on climate change.
In the final section of the live show, the hosts discuss the massive methane leak in California, Dubai's clean energy plan and 15 years of contaminated water on First Nations land, and the indifference of the Canadian government.
In the bonus show, Sabina et al talk about how to talk about the environment, examples of social change and more about the limits of democracy! Don't miss it.

Jann, Eden, Victoria, Ruel and Jason join the show to talk about their winning animations and the endangered species they learned about, and are introduced by their teacher Liane Paixao.
In the middle section, Stefan takes point and makes the best case he can FOR the TPP, which leads us to talk about our responses to the best case scenario for it to take it down. There's lots of reasons to be skeptical the TPP is in our interest, and now you have a few more.
Finally we take some time to talk about Nuclear subsidies as voted for by #vote4thenews as well as a bit about a terrible op-ed by Rex Murphy about Alberta's oil woes, which continues into the bonus show.

Andrew has won numerous national and international awards for his investigative work.
Kevin and Andrew discuss the disconnect between the relative threat and coverage in the mainstream media between 'terror' and climate change. More people are killed by sharks than by terrorists each year, and climate change threatens to end human civilization and yet the coverage in the media is almost perfectly reversed from the actual danger. Why? Kevin and Andrew explore...
Also, Stefan and Kevin discuss the idea and role of 'hope' in social movements, with specific reference to the COP21 agreement that was just signed into not-law.

00:56:47Green Majority MedianoThis episode features Eric Beynon: President of Sustainable Growth Co. and one of the principal architects of the recently launch $20M Carbon XPRIZE competition. The Carbon XPRIZE is an attempt to engage innovators, designers and engineers of all types from all over the world to close the loop on carbon by creating technology and then hopefully a market for carbon (removed from the atmosphere or distilled out of fuel sources) to be used in physical objects and products. Examples might include things like concrete to both create a market for carbon as an input as well as incentivize carbon removal technologies by providing a profitable use for the results of the process. A game changer? Who knows just yet, but the possibilities are worth considering and something it would be foolish to ignore in a world drowning in carbon it doesn't want (in the air anyways).

00:57:03Green Majority MedianoFirst up this week, Ryan O'Connor author of "First Green Wave: Pollution Probe and the Origins of Environmental Activism in Ontario". Before there was Greenpeace, Environmental Defence, Ecojustice, Sierra Club or any other of the hundreds of large and small environmental organizations in Canada today there was Pollution Probe. Started by a few students and faculty at the University of Toronto back in 1969, Pollution Probe but environmental protection and activism on the map with a series of small and big wins protecting Canadians from burning rivers, toxic smokestacks and rampant litter. Ryan walks us through an outline of his book on the history of Pollution Probe and comments on the contrast between 1970's environmentalism in Canada and today.
Jo Royle, Officer for the Pew Charitable Trusts with the Global Ocean Legacy program about the very recent announcement by the UK government to approve the Pitcairn Islands Marine Reserve which is now the worlds largest fully protected marine space. We talk to Jo about the importance of protecting ocean space, the implicit difficultly of getting people and governments to care about something they almost never see or think about and the value of a clean ocean in general.

00:55:37Green Majority MedianoFirst up a surprise visit (even to me!) from the original show founder, Jordan Poppenk who came into the studio today to support us. We get a few, very well said words from Jordan about the changing times between when he started the show back in September 2006 and "climate" of environmentalism today.
Second guest was Antony Upward, graduate of York University with a Masters of Environmental Studies in Business Model Design and Sustainability, an OCAD University Industry Partner at the Strategic Innovation Lab, a co-founder of the Lab’s Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group and the convening entrepreneur for the Flourishing Business Toolkit project. Antony joins us today to talk about the Flourishing Business Canvas, and why it matters.
Last but not least Andrew Gage, Climate Change and Environmental Legal Aid director for West Coast Environmental Law Association joins us to comment on an blog he wrote about the extreme nature of the RCMP documents that Greenpeace Canada got through and access to information request that appears to reveal deep ideological biases and conflict of interest within the RCMP with regards to anyone who opposes oil project expansion/pipelines etc as an extremist who must be kept under control.

00:56:19Green Majority MedianoWe begin the show with a discussion of the recent TTC (metro) shutdown in Toronto due to the rivers of pollution running underneath the city, highlighting the pollution itself but also the attitude towards the value of public services like education and transit in Canada.
Despite out best efforts, we didn't end up being able to be at the Green Living Show this year. However, we did end up having David Gray-Donald a student and "les militants" from Quebec who helped us understand some of the differences and disconnections between activism between French and English Canada. We spoke about the ongoing austerity protests, climate, pipelines and more.
Stefan leads us in our final segment, with some thoughts on the ongoing student/TA strikes in Toronto and does an excellent job leading us in a short roundtable on the place for communal resources and the value of an education (and other public goods) to tie the show up in a neat little package!

Finally, Stefan attempts to bring us some good news to talk about this week, and Kevin and Daryn do their best to ruin his fun with concerns. :D
And of course a reminder that if you are in Toronto (or not) our friends over at LeadNow have organized a rally regarding bill C-51 as well as a petition and some other information you should read about the implications of the bill.

00:58:01Green Majority MedianoOne of our best shows in a while without a doubt. The main portion of today's show features an interview with Dr. Bob Willard, speaker and author of several books on the topic of business sustainability. This topic is to some a tired one, businesses speak of sustainability frequently but few of them speak about sustainability in a way that actually matches up to the physical limits of our planet. Dr. Willard is not one of them. Easily one of our favorite guests we've had on in quite some time, I can't recommend this interview enough.
In a complete surprise, local Toronto celebrity and professional "rabble rouser", democracy and citizen empowerment agent Dave Meslin just happened to be standing outside the studio during the show. During the final music break I ran out and grabbed him to say a few words about his new project 100 Remedies for Democracy.

Next up, we listen to a fabulous clip of Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada taking the parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment – Colin Carrie to task for intentionally trying to mislead Canadians about our own CO2 emissions.
Finally, the panel dissects a recent “The Agenda” with Steve Paikin episode “Carbon Commitments” that featured industry mouthpiece Candice Malcolm (Ontario Director) for the strongly suspected astroturf group , Canadian Taxpayers Federation on what could have been a serious discussion on the evolution of a federal carbon regulation system. Why does the CBC keep putting private interests and actual experts next to each other as if they we’re equally valid?

00:59:08Green Majority MedianoThis week, we discuss Ontario's newly proposed anti-SLAPP legislation with Ramani Nadarajah, Council for the Canadian Environmental Law Association.
With the theme of money and public participation we also spend a fair bit of time talking about the ongoing secret back room deals surrounding the proposed TPP or Trans-Pacific Partnership deal that has been described as "NAFTA on Steroids".
Finally, we started and ended the show with a talk about the "Stop Harper" campaign currently underway across the country.

In the first half, we primarily talk about the recent year end CBC interview. We spend the second half hopping around a bunch of other topics including missing and murdered aboriginal women, long term policy outlook in Canada and make some comparisons to Vladimir Putin's Russia. You can read/watch the CBC interview yourself here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/full-text-of-peter-mansbridge-s-interview-with-stephen-harper-1.2876934

00:59:05Green Majority MedianoHowdy friends! This week we take a load off by having a very relaxed show. Our main feature this week is an interview with Cheryl McNamara, Volunteer Toronto Organizer for Citizens Climate Lobby, and media coordinator for KAIROS Canada. Cheryl talks to us about what the role of lobbyists are in Canada, and the respective ability of industry and citizens to influence policy. FAIR WARNING! You might be surprised by her answer, but I urge you to have a listen.
Throughout the show we also have Kai Reimer-Watts and Nic Petrini-Woolley, one half of the local indie band Gen-Why. Kai is also deeply involved in Toronto 350, as well spearheading an upcoming DOC about Climate Change and the Peoples Climate March in NYC earlier this year. Kai and Nick grace us with their in-studio presence as well as some interesting thoughts on the state of Canadian climate activism.

Our main feature this week was with Dr. Jennifer Gardy - Host of the new CBC Doc channel episode "You Are What You Eat" airing January 8th at 8pm on The Nature of Things. We talk to Dr. Gardy about the role of science literacy in a functioning democracy, and the need for more science advocates among scientists. We also of course talk about some of the features of the show (which I already got to watch) and some of the fun myth debunking they do including a very fun clip involving her getting some of her friends drunk in the name of science!

Food Forward is a not-for-profit that educates and advocates for smart food policy in Toronto, particularly with relation to poverty and access to healthy food for all. Vanessa is a passionate food advocate, and talks to us about food access, poverty and public policy as well as helping us understand the CaterToronto initiative they offer in particular.
Stefan, Kevin and I spend the rest of the show digging into the recent "blockbuster" announcement of a non-binding agreement with China to curb carbon in the near future. The internet and environmentalists are abuzz with the news, but does it really mean anything? Our team of crack pundits takes a stab at this question.

Our main interview is with Mike Morrice, executive director and co-founder of the Sustainability CoLab. SCoLab was started as a Waterloo project to help provide metrics for cities and businesses to measure and thereby effectively implement voluntary sustainability initiatives. SCoLab’s approach is different in the emphasis on metrics but also by taking the idea that it’s participants should be celebrated for the changes they can and do make, rather than attacking them for what they aren’t doing. SCoLab has seen a huge expansion since it’s inception and is now a big player in the sustainability field in Canada.
